I've got more "real" flying time in a 210 weed man than you as a millitary pilot will fly in your entire career
Sad but true.
In fact your "real" flying time will only qualify you as a first officer on a super puma. I've spent many a day in places like Timor listening to ex black hawk guys waffle on about how they should be captains as they used to fly black hawks there at night. Now they feel totally demorilized as the captain won't even give them a landing (due to their inexperience)
So yes, enjoy your "real" flying as a public servant and I'll enjoy my lofty perch and the lifestyle it affords me. If I want to do some "real" flying, I can afford to grab a bonanza and go shoot off for a naughty weekend. You can't, your licence isn't recognized
Oh and real flying? It's Certainly not VFR in a chopper for a couple of hundred hours a year under millitary supervision and risk assessment. If you want to do some real flying, go do some mustering. You might learn a thing or three (and some humility)
